Answer:

The probability that you lose at most 2 out of your 6 races is 0.54432.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that you are running a race. The probability that you win is 3/5.

There are total of 6 races.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 6 races

            r = number of success = at most 2 lost

            p = probability of success which in our question is probability that

                  you lose a race =  1 - (3/5) = 2/5 or 0.4

Let X = <u><em>Number of races lost </em></u>

So, X ~ Binom(n = 6, p = 0.40)

Now, the probability that you lose at most 2 out of your 6 races is given by = P(X \leq 2)

P(X \leq 2)  =  P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

=  \binom{6}{0} \times 0.40^{0} \times (1-0.40)^{6-0} + \binom{6}{1} \times 0.40^{1} \times (1-0.40)^{6-1} + \binom{6}{2} \times 0.40^{2} \times (1-0.40)^{6-2}  

=  1 \times1 \times 0.60^{6} + 6 \times 0.40^{1} \times 0.60^{5} +15\times 0.40^{2} \times 0.60^{4}  

=  <u>0.54432</u>

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Jim's path is the critical path on this activity graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Critical Path:

Critical path is the the longest path in the project task paths. It shows the least amount of time in which project can be completed. It can be find by looking at the longest path in the network diagram of the project; not in term of nodes or activities instead in term of days.

In given case:

Path 1 Bill task's total duration= 6 days

Path 2 Jim's task's total duration= 17 days

Path 3 Betty task's total duration= 7 days

Path 4 Cynthia task's total duration= 14 days

Hence the longest path i.e. critical path is of Jim's activity path !
